TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Over the weekend, the Washington Post named six politicians to watch in 2026’s midterm elections.  They include: populist Dan Osborn, running as an independent for an open Senate seat in Nebraska; Maine Senator Susan Collins, who will be battling against either oyster fisherman Graham Platner or 78-year-old Gov. Janet Mills; the ultra-progressive Abdul El-Sayed, who’s vying for an open Senate seat in Michigan; Geoff Duncan, a former Republican Lt. Gov. who is running as a Democrat for Georgia’s governorship; and Pennsylvania’s Gov.

Greetings! Karoline Leavitt’s holiday on ICE: Looks like the fast-talking White House press secretary may have a slippery Thanksgiving. News has leaked that Leavitt’s nephew’s mother was arrested last month by ICE agents near Boston.  Bruna Caroline Ferreira, a native of Brazil, had a son with Leavitt’s older brother Michael.  Ferreira is being held in a South Louisiana detention center, according to WMUR-TV of Manchester, NH.  Will Karoline Leavitt talk turkey about the detention of her 11-year-old nephew’s mother?

Thanksgiving Socialism

source: Townhall

By John Stossel: Americans should know we already gave socialism a chance. The only reason we get to celebrate Thanksgiving with lots of food is because the Pilgrims learned (the hard way) that socialism doesn't work. When they came to America, they first tried sharing land. The results were disastrous.
